Cox Farms is committed to making our grounds accessible, wherever and
whenever this is feasible. If we can escort a member of your group on
one of our golf carts, please speak to Customer Service when you arrive.

Most of our pathways are graveled (not paved) and our farm is on sloping ground, so bring your all-terrain wheels if you use a chair, stroller or wagon.

Visiting with kids

Make sure your children have your cell phone number in case you get separated. Use one of our free stickers for your young child, or write your cell number on their wristband.

Check out the Kiddie Zone especially for toddlers and preschool kids! This area is fenced with a single entry/exit point to reduce escapes, and it contains scaled-down favorites for the littles, including a corn crib, a small slide, wooden train, straw bales for climbing, bubbles to chase, musical instruments, and more!

Big rope swing just too big? We have a scaled-down swing just for our smallest visitors. You'll find it between Donuts and Root Beer.

Our small "Kiddie Fun Tunnel" brings the thrills of climbing straw bales and exploring dark tunnels to our younger visitors; this structure is fenced in with a single entry/exit point, and the layout is much simpler and closer to the ground, perfect for beginning adventurers. You'll find it near Treetops and the Party Place.

Little ones also love our wooden climbing structures, and there are more of them than ever! Boats, trains, and all sorts of other vehicles, you'll find them all around the farm.

Need space to feed, change diapers, or escape the excitement of the festival? Check out our Family Rest Stop, near the Kiddie Zone. You'll find a latticed area with benches, diaper changing tables, and even an outlet for breast pumps and bottle warmers. We've also added several diaper-changing stations around the festival.

Want a quiet visit? We have the fewest visitors on weekday afternoons. Festival parking is also easier on weekday afternoons.
